The Healthcare Distribution Management Association Political Action Committee (HDMA PAC) is a qualified, multi-candidate PAC registered with the Federal Election Commission.  A vital component of our advocacy efforts, the HDMA PAC is an effective way to become more politically active and support candidates who share the legislative priorities of primary, full-service distributors.

Every day, policies are enacted by legislators that can have a long-term impact on the viability of the healthcare distribution industry, including:

• Prescription drug anti-counterfeiting initiatives
  
• Uniform pedigree requirements for prescription drugs
  
• Tax reform
  
• Distributor licensure and accreditation
  
• Importation
  
• Medicaid/Medicare
  
• Controlled substances regulations
  
• Influenza (pandemic and seasonal) and emergency response

The purpose of the PAC is to:

• Provide campaign contributions to federal candidates for elective office who are interested in policy issues that advance the safe, secure and efficient delivery of life-saving medicines;
• Provide HDMA and our member companies with a greater ability to communicate with elected officials;
• Inform and update PAC members about key legislative and regulatory issues that affect the healthcare distribution industry, HDMA member companies and customers.
